This is Israel's version of Country Roads (without all the finger picking and other instruments).
I put this together because I had been trying to learn this with a window with lyrics and a window
with the chords-- that's confusing.  Hopefully this helps someone who really likes this version of
the song but finds learning it a little frustrating!
Enjoy!
 
[Verse]
C              Am
Almost Heaven, West Makaha,
G                    F                  C
high-ridge mountain, crystal-clear blue water.
                     Am
All my friends there hanging on da beach,
G
young and old among them,
F              C
feel the ocean breeze.
 
[Chorus]
C                     G
Country road, take me home,
        Am       F
to the place I belong,
     C             G
West Makaha, Mount Ka'ala.
            F                 C
Oh, take me home, oh, country road.
 
[Bridge]
Am        G
I heard a voice,
       C
in the morning calm, she calls me,
F            C               G
as though to remind me of my Home far away.
Am               A#
Driving down the road,
           F               C
I feel the Spirit coming to me,
      G           G7
from yesterday, yesterday.
 
[Verse]
C               Am
All my memories hold Heaven on high,
G                    F                C
brown-skinned woman, clear blue island sky.
                  Am
Daytime sunshine, oo-ooh so bright,
G                        F               C
midnight moon a-glowing, stars up in the sky.
 
[Chorus]
C                     G
Country road, take me home,
        Am       F
to the place I belong,
     C             G
West Makaha, Mount Ka'ala.
            F                 C
Oh, take me home, oh, country road.
 
[Bridge]
Am        G
I heard a voice,
       C
in the morning calm, she calls me,
F            C               G
We driving down the road, I feel the Spirits coming to me,
    G          G7
of yesterday, yesterday.
